I gave this survey to 19 students and was actually very surprised by the answers. My teacher told me at the beginning of the year that one of her main goals this year was to raise her students' confidence in their math abilities. I wish I could have recorded this same interest inventory at the beginning of the year to see if math was originally their overall favorite subject. One of the students actually gave my host teacher the credit for being the reason math was her favorite subject.
Also, I was shocked to see that language and grammar was their least favorite only because they spend 90 minutes a day working on language, grammar, and spelling. It is scary to think that overall, most of the students aren't interested that entire 90 minutes and I wonder if they are disengaging at all.
